Well... I think the best racing game I ever played was BurnOut, It's very fun you drive at like 200miles per hour and you can push other cars into the rails and make them bounce and hit oncoming cars then watch them get destroyed!

Well, you missed out. What really captured Gran Turismo and surpassed it quickly went under due to lack of players.. MotorCity Online.

Buy/sell/soup-up cars in an online world against other players. It had hundreds of cars, used/new, tons of parts and upgrades, and you had to win money by racing against other users.

The only remaining thing that is working towards holding a candle towards Gran Turismo is rFactor. It has a free demo, but the demo doesn't do the full game justice. It's career mode has for upgrades and vehicle customization, but not quite to the same degree as GT.

Lastly, oldie but goodie albeit limited to Porsche's... Need For Speedorsche Unleashed has a lot of the same gameplay as GT's simulation mode, but limited to 50+ years of Porsche cars. It also has a "Factory Driver" mode with missions to add even more cars to your garage. Great game with similar gameplay but somewhat dated by today's standards.

Burnout is probably my most favorite racing game but like you said you already had it

burnout isnt in the same league as the legendary GT in burnout (when will you learn justin) you just hit the accelerator and become entranced in the lovley crashes that you encounter. while in GT and Forza you get to become one with your car modding it to your hearts content as you would raise a child then let it loose upon the race track and cry in delight as you lap the computer controlled cars about 10 times in your Pagani Zonda in a 2hr endurance race. brings a tear to my eye
